  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (preferably caramelized for richer flavor)

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken in soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant. Add chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Simmer for 5 minutes to develop flavors.
